In Remnants, tattooed and scar-bearing bodies reveal a larger history, as the lived trauma of genocide is understood through bodies, skin, and—in what remains of those lives a century afterward—bones. Learn about Prof. Elyse Semerdjian’s work in gathering individual memories and archival fragments of women survivors, offering a feminist interpretation of the Armenian Genocide and issuing a call to break open the archival record to embrace affect and memory.
Prof. Elyse Semerdjian is the Robert Aram and Marianne Kaloosdian and Stephen and Marian Mugar Chair of Armenian Genocide Studies at the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University. She was a past recipient of Cornell’s Society for the Humanities Fellowship in 2016.
